- you like provoking people, don't you? That's the worst thing about the internet... people who talk shit and act like they're not trying to push people's buttons, acting innocent.

6 types of wiggers

So, here is the breakdown of a wigger. The 6 types listed in Peter Strage's "Mikrofonkåt." And I'm just a messenger here, so don't go blasting me now.

MINIWIGGERS
Religiously listens to 2Pac, lives thug life in high school, sniffs gas when they can't afford beer. Knows every line from "Menace II Society."

NATURAL WIGGERS
The older and more grown up kind of wigger. The group with the strongest denial of wanting to be Black. They have lived the culture long enough not to consider it a subculture anymore. I'ts become a "natural" way of life. That's why Petter and his crew call themselves "Natural bond." They have lead a Black way of life for so long that they barely think about the Blackness of it anymore.

AFRICAN WIGGERS
Have just arrived from Mogadishu or Ouagadougou but claims to be straight outta Brooklyn.

PROGGY WIGGERS
Enjoys independent hip hop and romanticisation of the working class, takes Kånken over Fubu, grows beard and dreads, dresses bummily and has Promoe (LoopTroop) as a fashion icon. Proggy wiggers are commonly mistaken for rastafaris, but they prefer beer over marijuana and often compares situations to the oppressed african-american population.

NAZI WIGGERS
Condemns Black Americans that betrey their culture and make hip hop commercial. They consider themselves better Blacks since they have more Common than Puff daddy records.

You totally crushed the hope of Peter Strage's book being anything worthwhile. How the hell can someone write about something they are so disconnected from? I don't understand how Strage got the idea that hip hop = black. From day 1 its been about everything but that.

4 out of 6 of the wigger definitions are simply invalid.

Wiggers from Africa? The word "wigger" starts with W for a reason and Africans are definetely not white LOL!

Yes, I understand how ignorant this makes him come off as.. and some parts of the book are indeed a little off.. but you have to read the whole thing to understand. If you had done that you would see that these examples weren't a serious attempt to sum up what a wigger is. It was obviously just exaggerations and supposed to be funny.

After typing all those wigger-types down I realized that it was not a very good representation of the book. I wish you could read it so that you could fully understand what the deal was. I found it worthwhile, no question. It was very entertaining and well-written. And that chapter is in no way a prejudice or ignorant description of whites that listen to hip hop. Not at all. The so-called wiggers that he seriously discusses are these kids that take it too far and i.e. start hating other white people and think they are these ghettoboys that they see in the movies or whatever. And yes, they exist.. I think we've all seen them.

So of course, some of the content in the book (like these wigger-types obviously are) requires a pinch of salt when you read it, but that comes automatically when you read it.

I don't mean to be a "natural wigger" or whatever the fuck this stupid shit is about, but hip hop has always been about being black.

um

i thought "wigger" was just a term for white people to use so they could rhyme words with it.
